Backdrops timeout settings question

Jump to solution

I have 5 roku devices,  tcl roku tv, roku ultra 4600x, 4800, 2 4820 , all of are on 14 and updated. 

When setting the backdrops,  settings,  select what one's I want to use, set backdrops to start in 30 minutes,  1 minute to change, the settings do not hold and revert to 10 minutes to change., go to the bottom of the app, set this again,  same issue, if I select the star menu  button,  it shows the picture timeout again to 10 minutes again.

I have a screen saver set for 5 minutes and no issues with that.

I don't have an old TV, but I also don't want to get a burnt image either. 

I have disabled the backdrops until a fix can be done

Update on Roku Backdrops Feature - Picture Interval Reverts to 10 Minutes (By Design)

Jump to solution

Hi @techhead51,

We wanted to provide an update regarding the backdrop picture interval. If you set the interval to 1 minute, it will automatically revert to 10 minutes. This is by design to prevent screen burn-in, particularly on models like the TCL Roku TV.

Roku recommends keeping the 10-minute default for optimal screen protection.

Thank you for your understanding,
